hey there fellow trouble shooters,
i got a Z axis stall error 299 tonight. i was carving the back of a project which had a eagle head pattern and centerline text. it made it through the pattern ok and halfway through the text i got the error message. i am running the current versions of software and firmware. before i started the project the machine was clean and i have installed a brand new flexshaft with the proper lube with moly and a rock chuck. the only thing about the shaft is that i let it set in the lube a long time and didnt let it drip dry long, i did wipe it down in good shape, but noticed a little bit of drool coming out the end of the shaft into the top hat. i know shame on me but got what i could removed from the top hat. after the message i could move everything in all directions, the bars are clear of pitch, and it didnt appear to be anything in the belts, but gave it another vac job anyway. i havent taken the bearing wipers off yet to see what is under them lurking in the shadows. could it be a problem with the wipers, belts, or should i hit it with some air? i couldnt find anything on the search feature for "Z axis stall error 299", any info would be appreciated. a call to LHR will be coming up to because i think i still have a lil bit of warranty left.
